Here you'll find ideas for cruising with families.
Can a Disney cruise really be budget friendly? For most families, family vacations are special events that need to be budgeted for. However, it can be difficult to figure out exactly how much money you’ll need to save, and impulsive purchases while on vacation are pretty common. That’s why I think a cruise can actually be very budget-friendly for families on a strict budget.
Some people find it difficult to sleep when they travel, but the Disney Fantasy’s comfy beds helped me sleep through the night. It wasn’t just me that felt that way. During the Inaugural Cruise, a group of Traveling Mom writers who were onboard came to the consensus that the mattress and bedding had a great deal to do with getting a good night’s sleep.
Many vacationers focus on what they have on vacation. But as a glass-half-empty person, I look at what is missing.
While it is obvious that the Disney Fantasy was going to transport me to another place, namely Disney’s private island Castaway Cay, Europa proved to be an unexpected bonus trip and pleasant surprise. An exclusive, adults-only area, Europa takes you on a journey through several cities on the continent, invoking a sense of déjà vu for those who have been, and providing a bit of exposure and inspiration for those who have not.
It’s no surprise that before American Idol, Jennifer Hudson’s stage was on board the Disney Wonder. Disney attracts the best talent from all over the world to perform in its Broadway-style productions aboard every ship in its fleet. The Disney Fantasy is no exception. 
Food is critical on a cruise. If you don’t like the choices, you can’t exactly go somewhere else.
